Mumbai, Feb 2: Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan has said that he would not bow down to the Shiv Sena's protests and apologize, CNN IBN reported on Tuesday. The Shiv Sena is displeased because Khan said Pakistani cricketers should be included in the third edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
"I will not cow down to Sena's protests," Khan told the news channel.
"I said whatever I think as a proud, righteous Indian," he said. "I stand on my views on Pakistani players in Indian Premiere League 3," he added.
Twenty Shiv Sainiks were reportedly nabbed by police from near Mannat, Khan's residence in Bandra on Sunday. The activists had planned to demonstrate in front of the actor's bungalow.
"Our leader Balasaheb Thackeray had warned Shah Rukh not to hire Pakistani cricketers. As long as Pakistan continues to sponsor terrorism in India, we will not let any Pakistani player in India," Shiv Sena leader Anil Parab had said.
However, Maharashtra Home Minister RR Patil warned Shiva Sena and said, "Shiv Sena will have to pay through its nose if it indulges in ransacking or disturbing theaters screening movies of actor Shah Rukh Khan."
The Shiv Sena has said it would continue its agitation against Khan.
